What is a print-on-demand mockup?
A print-on-demand mockup is a digital image that shows a design placed on a blank product, such as a T-shirt, before anything has been printed. Print-on-demand sellers list with mockups because each item is only made once someone orders it.

What does a mockup look like on a model?
This mockup shows a white tee with a wildflower print. Glammo AI put the tee on a fictional adult AI model on a cobbled city street.
A sample photo and images made from it. Models are fictional and AI-generated.
Why turn a mockup into an on-model photo?
Mockups come from templates, and other sellers use the same templates. The blank, the light and the shadow repeat from shop to shop, so the design is the only thing that changes.
An on-model photo shows the print at its real size on a body, and puts the design in a setting that suits its buyer, from a city street to a beach.
A mockup is still only a picture of a template. Ink can print brighter or duller on fabric, so order a sample and compare it with every image before you publish.
How do you get a good result from a mockup?
A flat, front-on mockup
The whole garment in frame, with nothing covering the print.
The largest export available
Small text and fine lines need pixels, so download the full-size version.
The right blank colour
If you sell heather grey, use a heather grey mockup, not a white one.
No props or hands
A plain mockup shows more of the garment.
A sample to check against
Compare print size, position and colours with the printed item.

Common questions
Is a print-on-demand mockup a real photo?
No. A print-on-demand mockup is a digital image of a design placed on a product template, and nothing has been printed yet. Order a sample to see the real print.
Will Glammo change my design?
Glammo is built to keep the print's colour, scale and position from the mockup, but AI can miss a detail. Check small text, thin lines and colours in every image before you publish.
Which mockups work best in Glammo?
Sharp, front-on, flat mockups work best in Glammo, with the whole garment in frame and nothing over the print. Mockups with props, hands or steep angles hide parts of the garment.
Can I sell with mockups alone?
You can, but a mockup shows a template rather than the printed item. An on-model photo made from the mockup shows the print's scale on a body, and a photo of your sample confirms the real print.
